Yes, but it can't be larger than the message size limit.  Postfix
will not create queue files that exceed the limit.

Frankly I'd keep the bounce size limit smaller, you never know
what limits the bounce will encounter en-route back to the sender.

But in fact, my view is that bounces should always be headers-only,
and if you're sending important content whose only copy is in the
outbound message, which is "lost" if not delivered, then that's the
problem, fix the sending software to archive the outgoing message.

Bounces may happen at hops along the outbound path that you don't
control, and are more likely to be deliverable, the less they
contain that might run into content-specific filters.
